Jesus says to the apostle Peter "get behind me satan" when Peter states "this will not happen to you Lord" after Jesus tells the apostles that he, Jesus, will be betrayed/captured/killed and rise to heaven.
Is the answer to my query 'yes'? Do all people become part of satanism possibly at one point in their life ?

The extent of God's responsibility for evil is that He chose to create a world in which moral evil was a possibility, but not a necessity. The rest, of course, is history. His creatures did decide to do evil. Therefore, the origin of evil and the subsequent consequences are to be found in the rebellion of free moral agents against God. By choosing their own self-serving ends, moral creatures are responsible for all the evil that exists in the world, both moral and natural. It was not God, but man, who brought about the corruption of God's “very good” creation. Evil, it seems, is, by nature, a lack of or deprivation of the good. Like a parasite, evil exists only in good things as a corruption of them. It is like rot to a tree or rust to iron—it corrupts good things while having no nature of its own. For example: the corruption of an educated mind is ignorance; the corruption of a prudent mind is imprudence; the corruption of a just mind is injustice; the corruption of a brave mind, cowardice; the corruption of a calm, peaceful mind is lust, fear, sorrow, and pride. Like darkness, which is the absence of light, evil is the absence of what is good. |

i dont think the lord was stating peter was one of satans but that in a moment of weakness peter succumbed to human frailty,remember the apostles were not endowed with the power of the holy ghost but were just normal human beings,even judas was not one of satans until the devil entered his heart to betray jesus,as for modern society now well it says this world is taken captive at satans will and does as he commands so for those who know not the gospel of christ then the answer is yes to your question
